Blend of Oils - Rich Lather, More Cleansing

Discover the cleansing power of nature with our Frantoio Grove Black Soap, a unique blend of activated charcoal and our signature extra virgin olive oil. Handcrafted on our California estate, this soap is designed to provide a deep, purifying cleanse while nourishing your skin with the richness of olive oil.

Humic Acid is celebrated for its incredible ability to bind with impurities and toxins from the skin, making it an ideal ingredient for those prone to acne, blackheads, and oily skin. This powerful detoxifier works by binding to dirt, excess oil, and other impurities on the skin’s surface, leaving your complexion feeling clean, refreshed, and revitalized.

Complementing the purifying effects of Humic acid, our hose roasted coffee adds texture and plant powered antioxidants, while our estate-grown extra virgin olive oil adds a luxurious moisturizing element to the soap. Olive oil is known for its hydrating and skin-soothing properties, ensuring that while your skin is deeply cleansed, it remains soft, smooth, and nourished. The combination of these ingredients creates a balanced soap that both cleanses and moisturizes, making it suitable for daily use on all skin types.

Our Black Soap is free from artificial fragrances, colors, and harsh chemicals, staying true to our commitment to natural, sustainable skincare. The deep black color of the soap is derived entirely from the activated charcoal, giving it a striking appearance that reflects its powerful cleansing abilities.

Ingredients: Saponified Oils (Frantoio Grove EVOO, Coconut, Castor), Water, Coffee, Humic Shale Ore, Essential Oils (Vetiver, Cedarwood, Benzoin).

Benefits:

  • Deep Cleansing: Humic acid effectively draws out impurities and toxins, making this soap perfect for a deep cleanse.
  • Moisturizing: The olive oil base hydrates and nourishes the skin, preventing dryness even with frequent use.
  • Balanced Care: While the Humates purify, the coffee provide natural antioxidants and exfoliation while the olive oil ensures your skin remains soft and supple.
  • Natural & Pure: Made with only natural ingredients, this soap is free from synthetic additives, making it gentle on your skin.

Made by hand at our mill in San Martin, California.

To experience the full benefits of our handmade soap, follow these steps:

  1. Lathering: Wet the soap and rub it between your hands or onto a soft washcloth to create a rich, creamy lather. Due to the high content of extra virgin olive oil, our soap produces a gentle lather that cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
  2. Cleansing: Apply the lather to your skin in gentle, circular motions. Our soap's unique blend of ingredients, including olive, coconut, and castor oils, works to cleanse deeply while maintaining your skin's moisture balance. The coconut oil contributes to a bubbly lather, while castor oil adds a luxurious, creamy texture.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with warm water, ensuring that all traces of soap are removed. You’ll notice how soft and smooth your skin feels after rinsing, thanks to the moisturizing properties of the olive oil.

Post-Cleansing: For best results, follow up with a moisturizer to lock in the hydration and nourish your skin further.

What To Expect From Our Soaps

  • Gentle Cleansing: Our soaps provide a gentle yet effective cleanse, removing dirt and impurities without drying out your skin. The high olive oil content ensures that your skin's natural moisture barrier is maintained, while the added oils create a pleasant, bubbly lather.
  • Natural Scent: We use essential oils to provide a subtle, natural fragrance that enhances your cleansing experience without overwhelming your senses. The scent is a reflection of the pure, natural ingredients used in our soap.
  • Long-Lasting Bars: Our soaps are crafted to be dense and long-lasting. With proper care, a single bar can provide weeks of luxurious cleansing.

Caring For Your Handmade Castile Soaps

To ensure that your handmade soap lasts as long as possible and continues to deliver a luxurious experience:

  1. Keep It Dry: After each use, store your soap in a well-drained soap dish that allows air to circulate around the bar. This helps prevent the soap from becoming soggy and ensures it dries out completely between uses.
  2. Cut It Down: For extended use, consider cutting your soap bar into smaller pieces. This allows you to use one piece at a time while keeping the rest fresh.
  3. Avoid Prolonged Water Exposure: Don’t leave your soap in standing water or in direct contact with water when not in use. This can cause the soap to dissolve more quickly.
